{Last Date} Registrations for the 14th STC India Annual Conference

[STC India Conference]

Hi all,

The last date for registering to the 14th STC India Annual Conference is TODAY. For more clarifications, please write to us at admin....@stc-india.org

I am pleased to announce that the registrations for the 14th annual conference of the STC India chapter are now open.

The venue for the main conference would be The Chancery Pavillion, Bangalore.

This year’s agenda has been created with high precision, taking into account the feedback we received in the past STC India conferences. Our judges have painstakingly chosen those papers that shows the promise to serve your various knowledge needs effectively. No surprise, this year’s agenda covers topics that have never or rarely been presented in the past STC India conferences. 

If you have not seen the conference agenda yet, check out: http://www.stc-india.org/conferences/2012/?page_id=36. You can also refer to the agenda in the attachment to this email.

For the registration process:

A) At your desk, you can fill out the interactive registration form and submit it *online*.  No need to print out the form and courier it to us!  

**To complete and submit the registration form, use the link:  http://www.stc-india.org/conferences/2012/?page_id=43. You need to have the DD/Check/Transaction details before filling the form.

B) You can pay your conference fees online. Only HDFC and ICICI bank customers can avail this facility. We recommend this strongly. Our banking details are given at the end of the registration form page. Do quote the transaction number and date of remittance for us to crosscheck. After you have added STC India as beneficiary and initiated the process to pay the payment fee online, you might notice that the branch and location information for account number provided in the site shows as "000501056138 (Pune - Bund Garden Road)" and not Bangalore, Koramangala. Please do not worry about this at all! The amount will be immediately reflected to STC India's Koramangala account. 

C) Alternatively, you can also deposit a check in the nearest ICICI check drop box. Please do not forget to quote write a crossed check or DD, visit your nearest ICICI bank branch (yes, anywhere in India) and drop it in their check drop box. Please do not courier your check or DD. We would strongly advise you to drop the check to any of the ICICI Bank check drop boxes. It would allow us to speed up the registration and send you the confirmation email faster. Note that we will not be responsible for any delay in confirmation of your check realization.

D) The registration form is mandatory even if you are a presenter, corporate sponsor, or STC India volunteer.

E) Like always there is something nice stored for you if you are an STC India member. As an STC India member, you must pay 1000 INR for the preconference workshops NOVEMBER 29) * and nothing for the main conference days on (NOVEMBER 30, 2012 and December 1, 2012). Do not forget to mention your India Chapter Membership Number on the form.

For all other participants, *  the registration fee for preconference workshops is 1000 INR, and  the fee  for the main conference is 3000 INR. If you register for the main conference only, you cannot attend the preconference workshops. Similarly, if you register for the preconference workshops, you should  register for the main conference separately (in the same form, but pay a higher amount).

If you are attending all the 3 days (Nov 29, Nov 30, Dec 1), you must pay 3500 INR instead of 4000 INR as conference fee, clearly saving 500 INR.

 

Group registrations fee (for 3 or more delegates from the same company) is Rs.2500 per individual for the main conference days. No discount on the preconference workshop fee is applicable for group registrations.

Conference Presenters have a free registration only for the main conference days.

F) If you are interested in attending the preconference workshops, you should pick any one of the options (Career Streams for Writers, Knowledge Unlimited, Open Up) when filling the form.

 

G) After you submit the registration form, you will receive a confirmation from Saravanan Manoharan (Treasurer), who is coordinating registrations this year. Your registration is considered valid only if you have a confirmation mail. Any payment is subject to realization of your check or DD. Receipts for payment will be issued online on the conference days. If you need a hard copy of the receipt, please select the appropriate option in the registration form.

H) If you have any questions about the registration process, payment realization or email confirmation, write to Saravanan Manoharan (trea...@stc-india.org). 

I) The conference registration opens today and closes by November 15, 2012.

Hope you find this registration process and information useful. Please write back to me if you have any questions.

Regards,

The Program Management Team,
